There have now been 5 no-hitters this season
That s tied with the 1917 season for the most through May 18 in any season

The Mariners were also no-hit by John Means on May 5.
The Mariners are the 4th team in MLB history to be no-hit twice in a 14-day span or less, joining the 1917 White Sox, 1923 Philadelphia Athletics, and 2015 Los Angeles Dodgers. pic.twitter.com/kCeFLIWXIc
What’s odd about the no-hitter is that Turnbull said after the game that he felt “horrible” warming up before the game.
Spencer Turnbull on @BallySportsDET after the game: “Honestly, warming up in the pen before the game, I felt HORRIBLE.” Amazing how many pitchers through the years who have thrown no-no’s felt awful while warming up pregame.
Darvish’s Emotional Farewell, the Lack of a GM Search, Kim’s Deal, and Other Cubs Bullets
There is not necessarily anything magical about today versus yesterday. We’re on the course we’re on with respect to the pandemic, and just one more day has passed. That said, I’m right there with everyone: I hope there comes a time when we can look back and see that 2021 was just the straight damn opposite of 2020.
• Yu Darvish spoke to the media about his trade to the Padres, and he got emotional, so I got emotional:
Cool unscripted moment on Darvish Zoom: @MLBBruceLevine thanks Darvish for being a class act in Chicago, and enjoyable to deal with, and Darvish chokes up and gets emotional about his time in Chicago, can t speak, says he will address that topic later.
